Cleaning With Meaning, the eco-friendly cleaning company based in Maidstone, has officially been recognised as a Disability Confident Committed employer. This marks an essential step in the company’s ongoing mission to create an inclusive, supportive and accessible workplace for all.
The Disability Confident scheme is a national initiative from the UK government that encourages employers to think differently about disability and to take positive action to improve how they recruit, retain and develop disabled people. Achieving Level 1 Disability Confident Committed status means Cleaning With Meaning has agreed to the scheme’s core commitments and has taken practical steps to support disabled people within the workplace.
As a Disability Confident Committed employer, Cleaning With Meaning has pledged to uphold the following principles:
- Inclusive and accessible recruitment, ensuring job vacancies are promoted widely and that the application process is accessible to all.
• Offering an interview to any disabled person who meets the minimum criteria for the role.
• Providing reasonable adjustments where needed so that disabled candidates and employees are not placed at a disadvantage.
• Supporting existing employees who acquire a disability or long-term health condition so they can continue to thrive in their roles.
Kelly Moore, Founder of Cleaning With Meaning, said:
“Becoming a Disability Confident Committed employer is an important milestone for us. Cleaning With Meaning was built on care, compassion and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to work in a supportive environment. We are committed to making our recruitment and workplace practices truly inclusive, and this recognition reflects our dedication to doing the right thing for our team and our community.”
This accreditation is the first stage of a three-level pathway within the Disability Confident scheme. Cleaning With Meaning has already begun exploring additional actions to help the company progress to Level 2 Disability Confident Employer status.
Cleaning With Meaning continues to expand across Kent, providing eco-friendly domestic and commercial cleaning services that support both people and the planet. The company’s commitment to social responsibility sits alongside its mission to deliver safe, non-toxic and sustainable cleaning for homes and workplaces.
